Will Illinois' governor Pritzker lay off any state workers?

There are three people in my household. Two of them are laid off. So I take job losses seriously. That being said, Michigan, whose Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, has laid off nearly 3,000 state workers.

Illinois governor JB Pritzker, like Whitmer, is telling businesses how to operate. Or not operate at all. Meanwhile many state offices are closed. Do you need to have your driver's license renewed? Good luck with that as nearly all Secretary of State offices are closed.

But state workers keep getting paid. In fact many of them have a raise coming.

Pritzker, also a Democrat, won the Democratic nomination and victory in the gubernatorial election with strong support from the public-sector unions.

So you know where Pritzker's loyalties lie.

Revenues, meaning taxes, are way down. It's time to tighten the belt in Illinois.

But the portly Pritzer doesn't know about that kind of stuff.
